% slept very well. (drugs undoubtedly helped, but so did new mattress)
dream: the only part I remember was finding a large mailbox in our side
yard (it seemed to be the Perry Ave house) that several visitors had put
things in to be mailed, a long time ago.

& found my pedometer - it apparently turned up in the pile of stuff next to
Colleen's chair. Must have fallen off when I was kissing her.

Sunday's main accomplishment was finishing the bedroom makeover by putting
up the shelves on Colleen's side of the bed. Go me! Also some
configuration work on Argo, the newer of my two Thinkpads.

My pedometer turned up -- it appears to have been found amid the clutter
next to Colleen's chair, so it must have fallen off my belt during a
kiss. So there's an umimpressive step count again.

River content: a random observation, a month or two after the conversation
that it would have been in context in: I'm not so old that sex doesn't
matter to me, but I'm old enough that love and companionship matter more.

You've read about the 100 yo woman who got the iPad as her first ever computer? She has glaucoma and hadn't been able to read books in dunno howlong. She's read a few now, and composed a lot of limericks.

Hadn't seen that one. But for example, Mom was puzzled about why her Kindle books all showed up in the Kindle app but not the main iBook list. The manual doesn't mention this particular bit of stupidity. Nor does it mention that apparently the only way to get *anything* on the pad is using an app specific to that type of file.

Mom's turning 90 this year, but she's not a technophobe -- she was a librarian at Perkin Elmer years before personal computers existed. I think the iPad may be too dumbed-down for her.
